ER 8083:] [PRICE SEVENPENCE r. ,t 4,7 E LOTTERY INVERNESS COUNTY ELECTION, I was the Corn Bill, fixing the maximum w home price which should open our ports to , foreign corn. I considered that question, as it wag Oven very keenly agitated, to be a dispute between the landed and manufacturing interests—and those in terests, when properly understOod, as not suscep tible of being placed in opposition. to each other. But on that occasion thinkinz the pressure on agriculture, the source of all other brooches of in dustry, to be the most severe, I voted for the ex clusion of foreign corn, notil the home price should have attained a certain elevated po;nt. " I cannot advert to the Situation of the country at that time without making one reflection, which, I trust, I may without fear of disappt ohation, of fer in this place. It was by a series of providen tial dispensatiOns, eminently conspicuous, that our national independence, and the independence of Europe, wer; secured. In our joy and elation for the glories which our arms had acquired, per haps we did not sufficiently feel our obligations to the Divine Author of all blessings, nor consi der how entirely our happiness, even in a state of, restored peace, must depend on that source. Our disappointments were calculated to remind' us of this truth. The hostility of enemies had ceased, but the seasons and the elements were made . to remind us of our continual dependence upon God. , i n , 115 ..00 11S V Ilex. e llotVing Lir 1V it 11 01). ri which orn P r .

P The Meeting of the Freehohlers of this County, held on 'rtiestlaj, for the• Election of a Repre sentative in Parliament, was very respectably at tended. Mr. C. GRANT, sen. the late Member, Laving been unanimously called to the . chair, and \lr. Kinkel) chosen Clerk, the oaths were ad ministered in the usual form. The claims of en-: rolment ofG, Ju;;lis , Esq. of Kingsnsills ; Capt. Thomas Fraser, of Balnain ; Duncan Cameron, Esq. younger, of Fattsifern; Atileck Fraser, Esq. of Cuidutltel ; and Robert Fraser, Esq. of Struy, were unanimously sustained. "'Mr.. GRANT, sea. spoke to the following effect " Before proceeding to the more immediate business of the day, I wish to be permitted to avail myself of this opportunity, perhaps the last shall enjoy, of submitting to my respected COn stituents some account of the manner in which I have exercised the - trust with which they .last in vested me, and whirls is now brought to a close. Although, Gentlemen, I have on- a former .occa- Sion stated to you the principles which regulated my public conduct, and the general course of that conduct since cannot be unknown to yon, yet I hold it to be a wholesome practice, that those who are entrusted with the hononrable office of representing the people in Parliament, • sh - ould e front time to time, distinctly explain to,theirtn stit news the part they hare 41.4041-4-44iitt—charac trr. To you, Gentlemen, this may he more par ticularly due. Though remote from the seat of Go vernment, you are not less enlightened, as to the public interests, than those•who are nearest to it and I am sure you come behind no portion of the empire in • zeal for the national cause. Ido not certainly mean to enter into any. large detail, but bri e fly to advert to some of the most important i1)Oe;tio os .which came under the consideration of th.e.last. Parliament, and.in doing tlris, I shall not borrow the sentiments of other members, many of whom may, suitably 1,0 the views they adopt ed, and the'stations they occopied, have rendered an account to their Constituents ; butt merely state those sentiments by which I was myself govern ed. Neither, in doing this; tio I mean to convey any reproach or censure on those Representatives who followed, a course different from that width I preferred. It is in the nature of popular assem blies, where freedom of discussion is permitted, to produce different opinion's trpim the same sub ;- this also is obviously beneficial, -as- brine, the way to Oicit,truth upon all questions; and as long as opposition in Parliament is regulated by an honest and vigilant exercise' of judkment, re spectiog the conduct of Admmistration, it must prove salutary, . Gent!emen, it is now near siX years since I last Stood befoie you in this place, on au occa sion - like the present. The - nation was then in solved, a ,, tl had long been, io a war the most formidable ,for extent—for duration—for the power we had to combat—and thy interests we had at stake, of any we had ever been called . to sustain. It was, I believe, in th e gen era l ° pi. a war for our national independence and exioence—such 1 own was toy opinion. There %veil., however, men, both in and out of Parlia" went, who thought, that peace was at that time our true policy, and that it ought to he sought on the best terms on which it could be Obtained. As this was a question 'of the last importance; more particularly to those. who would have to de cide upon it, I think it fair to confess here, that my humble judgnieut was for the continuance of the war ; not because I did not ardently wish for peace, but because I was convinced, drat iothe circumstances of chat time, real peace was unat tainable—that the ruthless and gigantic foe we had to combat, above all things, sought our ruin— that he• would have steadily pursued it afters pa cification-7-and that, therefore, our only hope of safety, under Divine Providence, lay in determined resistance... " Or All- the glorious effects which followed' to onr own nation and to the world, from our in flexible perseverance in a just and noble cause, need not speak ;"but it is impossible to think of the animating subject without glancing at the distiognished achievements or the natives of this our Highland country,.who were the. fist in every field, and have raised to the highest summit our national fame and glory. " Peace at. length was, by a concrirrence events, eminently providential, conquered -; but. the happiness expected from peace did not There was, on the contrary, a.stagnation of trade and of manufactures, a decay of - credit, and very ~eneral distress: and to these calamities succeed ed two bad harvests, which exceedingly aggra vated the national sintering, and the general dis content which is almost inseparable trout national suffering, when ii becomes great. •' Many discussions then took place about the means of alleviating the evils which were felt,-- various schemes, were suggested, and they called, for the attention of public men, even when not taking the shape of questions i n Parliament. But with regard to the remarkable. diminution in the counnerce and manufactures of the country, it vas found to arise from causes not removeable by any temporary expedients—causes, ihdeed, which bad been on the cessation of former warsexperienced, but remembered only by the tuore.mat ore and,saga citrus turn, who were aware that when all the ex pendi:ure in c id ent to a war of immens` . e" scale ceased, a mullitude.ot the. spriii'gs of manufac tures,,ot trade, and of employment, must • also cease, and be followed by corresponding priva tirms, tvhiCh could only . be alleviated,. and might be expected to•be..removed, by time, • " Wilb regard to the,unfl.vourahle harvest, the only practie4l measure, Which, after ,various dis cussions in Piarliadleilri - iiis 'brought into effect, " Another question which arose after the peace question, momentous, difficult, and involving many points—was the reduction of the public ex penditure. It was no Wonder that, after the na tion had so long sustained the excessive burthens of an unexampled %vat., there should be an eager desire and expectation of immediate and large re lief. Nor' was it any wonder that there should be' extremes of opinion upon this complicated subject. Those Gentlemen who, in r•hd out of Parliament, looked to a return to the Peace Esta blishment of 1792, or any thing very near to it, certainly gave not a doe consideration to the mense difference of circumstances in the two pe riods—the vastly extended scale of our establish ments, and the inipracticability of contracting ' them to their foriner dimensions, without the surrender of the suPeriMity, and *consequently of . the safety, we had acquired. The 'country, in ge neral, was perhaps ,not sufficiently attentive to this argument, hut inconsiderately 'impatient fur a state of ease. On the other hand, the Admini stration may have estimated too largely the exi gencies of the'titne, and the difficulty of deep re trenchments in Many branches of the civil and mititimy service— , retretiChtnents which must have the effect of depriving of 'employment numerous individuals who'had served 'the public during the war.. The call, however, fOr such retrenchments, was imperious; and I Was glad to see it so fat obeyed; though thinking that in sonic instances it had been urged rather on party than on public principles. " 13ut with respect to one obnoxious topic which occupied no little attention at that period; though it never came to a vote in Parliament,. I will nut here shrink from avowing my opinion.- I allude to the Property Tax. I thought that if it had been continued for two' years longer, the'conti nuance would have been for . the ultimate advan tage of the public; but that this should not be attempted contrary to the sense of the country, end, therefore, any opportimity I had ofspeahiog my sentiments upon the measure was used against an unpopular enforcement of it. " I recollect but one topic more upon which deem it necessary particularly to explain myself, 1511(1 that is the Suspension of the Habeas Corpus Act in the precqing, and again in the last, Ses-‘ sion'. I voted for that measure both times, froth a full conviction that there were treasonable de- signs and praetices on foot among certain descrip tions of perions iu the country, which the vidi nary arrn of the law could not reach and punish. 1-low far such a spirit may h;tve been fomented, 6y carrying the principles of opposition beyond " eir just bounds, I will not pretend to derer bat there has been something of this ex cess within Parliament, and more of it without, will perhaps n o t 'he denied. But uudouhtedly the disaffection which ha's manifested itself in the last few years must be chiefly ascr:bed to other sources, to the nefarious writings which have been so indutrioualy and daringly circul ate d among the lower ordth ; and to the wild, per nicious theories which have been broached both in philosophy and politics,—theories as extra- Mitie. vagrant arirl fanatickds'as . any ever introduced into relrrtiory and which . , tinder the specious pretence of Reform, would effect not a change in the ad ministration of the Government, but the subver sion of the Constitution,—the abolition of dis tinctions in society,—and thee - destruction of all property. I an persuaded that to County, so clear in its loyalty to the King and Constitu tion, 1 need not enlarge on this topic. I cannot question that, in speaking my own seutiments upon it, I have also spoken theirs; nor have I ever had reason to doubt, that the general line of my conduct in Parliapent has not 'been inhar- moray with their public principles,. A bnost the 'whole of the tune I have acted as your Represen tative, has heen a period:of arduous and extended war, 'in which his Majesty's Government, to be strong abroad, required to be strong at home.- 1 have thought it best for the national interest that, in such cirennistances espeCially, Government shoold be supported where its measures did not appear improper ; but only so far ; and my sup port has been a discriminating, not a blind sup port ; 1 regulated it in its degree, as well us in its character: 1 shOuld Have thought it a most un worthy use of the high trust you reposed in me, it 1 had sought to convert it (supposing that to have been practicable) into an instillment of pri vate emoltiment. h can repeat now; at the close of my Parliamentary service, what I, mentiuned litre once before. that I have t e r 'ltl.- minisi.kition any thing, ebbe! for myself or any one of my family, The situati..n in which my son was placed itt the Troasnry, to as the spontaneous cffer of his Majesty's Ministers, wholiy unsolicit ed 0.; either my pit or his. " Before I close," I wish to say a few words on the internal impiovements which have been eir rving on in this county. Lasting. monum vo , , as they will remnin, of the munificence ot Parlia ment towards the 11 ig hlaods. and of your publiespirit ; I have yet tee.) sensible that your contributions to them pressed heavily on the Landed Interest, and have regretted this circuit . stance ; but I believe you have judged wisely in submitting to the inconvenience_ of them, and that though the present generation must, in cor. set - pence, be subjected to privations, all future time will reap the benefit of them . Of the libe- - flinty of that Administration which planned them ; of the patriotic labours of those English Members, in particular, of tie Commissions for • the Roads and the Caledonian Canal, who have., fo r a series bf years, lent their eminent their time and labours, to the prosecution of these works ; and of the humble assiduby which it was . my duty, in an especial manner, to devote to them, I treed not now speak. " One important concern of a similar nature, which has lately peen brought into view, deserves to be noticed" on the present occasion. You will have observed that Parliament it,is recently passed a law- for the increase of Churches for the ESlitm bliShed Religion in England ;• and you may have seen that a sneasure of the same nature was brought 'forward in behalf of Scotland, but -post poned, in the House of Lords ; a delay which I extremely regret, though, I trust, it is only until the ensuing Session ; because I should have Wels glad to have witnessed the-'completion of that measure its closing my Parliamentary service. The principle of the law for •Eitgland, where the population now greatly exceeds the means of pub. lie worship is,-thitt the towns or parishes shall contribute together with the State, to the ex pence of New Churches, and shall provide for the stipends of the Ministers, and the same principle was, in the other Bill, proposed to be applied the Southern and Lowland parts of Scotland, and ' upon the saute general grounds. But that prin.. ciple could not apply to- the Highlands ; for there the evil of a defect of 'places of worship ; though it indeed exists to a formidable extent, arises not from increased population, but' from thesdisper sion of a thin population over very large parishes, ,ome 30, 40, 50, and 60-miles lone; in eat:h of which there is only one Church, to :which 'it is impossible fora great part of the parishioners, (loin their distance - i- to have - access; Awl this very . serious pr . rvation'of the means of 'religious instruction and worship' is but very init,erfectly supplied by the occasional services.ot tniysioua ries.

J. N. MAoLeon, of Macleod, E.g. passed the highest encoMinm on the public and private character; Of Mr. Grant, and proposed that he should be• requested to sit for his picture, that it might be h ung up in the Court Rouni,• as a lasting mark of their regard to him. This pro posal Was received with acclamation. The Hou. Gentleman then stated that he did not intend to deny that the report which had . .been circulated of his intention to appear as a Candidate . on this occasion, -was, to a certain extent, well founded.
